Did you know OCD impacts an estimated 1 in 40 adults? This number doesn't even include the vast amount of people who experience sub-clinical symptoms or have yet to be diagnosed.

However, many therapists are practicing with very limited understanding of OCD and how to properly screen for it in their clients. OCD is often sneaky and presents itself as many different things. So, even if you don't advertise yourself as an OCD specialist, it's likely that at some point, you will have clients on your couch experiencing OCD symptoms. Unfortunately, well-meaning therapists operating with limited OCD knowledge may exasperate a client's OCD symptoms if they are not knowledgeable about how to properly screen for it, what treatments make it better, and what makes it worse.

Understanding the symptoms of OCD and the specialized and evidence-based treatments for OCD are the key to positive client outcomes. This workshop will serve as a great primer for any therapist or mental health professional looking to gain more knowledge on OCD symptoms in clients of all ages, and how OCD can (often sneakily) present in the therapy room, and what to do about it. 

Therapists will gain tools and knowledge on the assessment and treatment process of OCD including an overview of OCD subtypes beyond contamination and symmetry, family accommodation cycles, differential diagnosis overview, and an overview of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. Therapists will leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of what OCD is and how it works/shows up for clients, the appropriate tools to screen/assess clients for OCD symptoms and resources and guidelines on how and when to refer to an OCD specialist or higher level of care.
